08.10.2008Nokia N97 hits U.S. flagship stores today
According to Engadget, Nokia's most powerful handset, the Nokia N97, will be hitting flagship stores in New York and Chicago. Unofficial sources
claimed that the handset would launch on June 2, but the date was not confirmed by Nokia. This comes after the release of other 'blockbuster'
handsets: the Palm Pre on June 5 and Apple iPhone 3G S (available June 19) yesterday at the WWDC. The device is expected to retail for
$699.99. However, for those who have pre-ordered the device, it would run them $524.25, through a $174.75 discount. No U.S. network
provider plans to carry the phone, so do not expect any subsidised prices through contracts.

03.11.2005Nokia To Invest In Facebook?
It looks like Europe is in love with Facebook…First the Samwer Brothers invested in the company, and now reports that Nokia is joining the
round, too. Paid Content is quoting sources that claim that Facebook and Nokia may be close to a deal which sees Facebook offered on Nokia phones as a
default and in return Nokia may take a stake in Facebook.
On the content side, offering a Nokia mobile specific version of Facebook will be
a positive in driving Facebook use on the mobile web. MySpace has gone down the path of carrier deals, where as a Facebook/ Nokia deal would be
carrier agnostic, and given that Nokia is still the largest cell phone provider worldwide the deal would spread Facebook into new markets.
